Recipe: Al Pastor Spiked Agua Fresca

We love our Al Pastor Spiked Agua Fresca recipe so much that we created a special edition promotional box centered around it for National Taco Day! 

We partnered with our generous friends at @mezcalojodetigre and brought on both the local ceramic artist, @clayqueeries, who hand-crafted gorgeous custom copitas and @bluehenry who supplied their beautiful dehydrated piña garnishes. While our entire seasoning trio was included in the limited-run gift box, our Al Pastor seasoning is the star of the show for our Spiked Agua Fresca. Try out the recipe for yourself below!

Recipe: 

Serves 6

Agua Fresca:

4 cups water

1 - 1 1/2 cups raw turbinado sugar

1 medium ripe pineapple, peeled and quartered

1 lime

Tequila of choice

Salted Rim:

1 tsp Todo Verde Al Pastor seasoning

1 tbsp salt

1. Add water and sugar to a blender, and blend until sugar is dissolved. Add the quartered pineapple and lime juice, and blend until smooth. Reserve any foam for garnish.
2. Add the Al Pastor seasoning and salt to a bowl, and mix.
3. Add the salt mixture to a plate and rim your 12oz serving glasses using the lime to add moisture.
4. Add ice to each glass, 2oz tequila (or more — no shade!) over the ice. Add the pineapple lime agua fresca and garnish with any reserved pineapple foam and pineapple leaves.
